This week I pulled the trigger and obtained a DDS share and I’ll review that in a rew moments, first a recap of this weeks runners.<\/p>\n
Newly acquired ALWAYS CONFLICTED made his first start for the stable.\u00a0 Placement was difficult as I was hoping for a low end claimer but ended up with a $20k starter allowance. \u00a0 I guess he was conflicted as he hobbled over the track, pretty much trailing the leader by 5 throughout the race.\u00a0 He finished fifth and travel costs ate up any potential BP payouts.\u00a0 Got a G-card and hoping to find softer conditions next time out for this mile runner.<\/p>\n
GOOD AND SOLID is a filly that was bred last week exchanging a lucky D-sire card that was drawn and tossing in a few other cards.\u00a0 She raced in a steep $125,000 claiming race in a 4-horse field and was a steep 25\/1.\u00a0 In the short 5.5 furlong race, she fell back a steep 7 lengths but made a decent stretch run to finish third and cut the deficit to 4 furlongs.\u00a0 She may desire longer, so I’ll try to seek a mile or so her next time out.\u00a0 30 BP’s and a G-card.<\/p>\n
HOPES FOR THE BEST is another horse that was bred using sire cards a while back\u00a0 She ran on the dirt in her first start, finished 6th in an 8 horse field with a slow 51 speed.\u00a0 That was with a claim tag of $30,000.\u00a0 Changes were made and she was dropped into a $15,000 claiming race and moved to the turf.\u00a0 In a five horse field which looked competitive with four of the runners with odds 2\/1 to 3\/1, Hopes for the Best was 16\/1. \u00a0 She\u00a0 pressed the leader from the start of the 5f race and found her stride in the stretch and took over the lead to win by nearly a length. \u00a0 Gotta love those longshot wins!\u00a0 Looks like we have a grass runner here.\u00a0 The win gave us a selection of two sire cards, both being of the G version, but better were the 30 BP’s from the win.<\/p>\n
Making his first start after picking him up in a claim was Thirsty Archie.\u00a0 I was able to keep him at the OR track which prevented any travel costs.\u00a0 He was placed in the protected Starter Allowance race with a cheap $2,500.\u00a0 Last start, he was the pace setter and finished third. \u00a0 This week, he held the second spot from start to finish and could not take down the 28\/1 winner. \u00a0 Another 30 BP’s and the second came in a 12-horse field, gaining us a second sire card.\u00a0 These turned into another pair of G’s.<\/p>\n
Summing up the week which was very profitable with 90 BP’s earned and a somewhat disappointing 6 G-cards. \u00a0 This gives a total of 9 G-sire cards when added to the cards remaining from last week.<\/p>\n
As I alluded to at the top of this article, I acquired a DDS share to join the sire shares that were previously purchased and include American Pharoah as sire, A.P. Indy as dam sire.\u00a0 For a cost of 275 BP’s completing the breeding line is Mr. Prospector.\u00a0 After this weeks winnings and the expenditure for the DDS share, the stable now has 116 on hand.\u00a0 Maybe we can target another nice sire share before the year is over.<\/p>\n
The sire shares have been used to breed a horse and we have a colt on our hands. \u00a0 I’m asking for name suggestions as I gave it an abstract name for the time being, so feel free to post your suggestions on this board. \u00a0 I’m hopeful to get him on the track quickly with a target of another start in December which will give us an idea of how well we’ve done. \u00a0 Thanks in advance for your name suggestions.<\/p>\n
